Women’s Forum Australia’s Stephanie Bastiaan says it’s an “absolute disgrace” that the federal government has given millions of dollars to an “activist organisation” such as ACON.

This comes after the federal government granted a $3.3 million boost in taxpayer funding for a new cervical cancer campaign to ACON, which is accused of “erasing women” from its messaging. 

“They do not even acknowledge the biological reality of women,” Ms Bastiaan told Sky News host James Macpherson.
